Red Screes, Kirkstone Pass

A male fellrunner attempting the Joss Naylor route in reverse was reported overdue with tracker contact lost. A team member with a drone attended Kirkstone Pass and located the runner on the skyline; he was uninjured but had become slightly off-route during darkness. The runner returned home without requiring evacuation.

Outcome: located safe and well, returned home uninjured
